Colonia Storm Tour

The other world Lin Haiyuan is referring to here is the wondrous yet magical world he was in before the decisive battle with Epsilon, which he actively traveled to the IS world to find out.

"Is that so... I thought we could spend some more time together. But I have a question: After you resolve the remaining Epsilons in the other world and correct that distorted world, what will you do next?"

Li Liuli was very curious about what Lin Haiyuan planned to do with the Burning Wind Resistance Army after they lost their opponent.

Lin Haiyuan looked up at the stars shining in the Antarctic night sky and said, "We will unite the warriors of the Burning Wind Resistance Army... and return to the rebuilt Colonia flank air base. We will abandon our past laziness and aversion to trouble. With one heart and one mind, firm belief, and unity, we will create a new Burning Wind Resistance Army, letting this storm called Colonia travel between the stars and countless worlds, searching for the way home, and creating our own destiny!"

The main story of "Journey Through the Storms of Colonia" has officially ended. The following is an author's closing statement.

Author's Closing Remarks

I believe many readers who were hoping for Lin Haiyuan's return to the Date A Live world will be dissatisfied with this outcome. Ultimately, Lin Haiyuan will still lead the Firewind Resistance Army, which has been drastically altered by the disaster, to the rebuilt Colonia flank air base to continue his journey and search for home in countless worlds. However, this time, the Firewind Resistance Army he leads will not choose to stand idly by and watch, but will actively try to help others. To be honest, the only explanation I can give is this simple point: with the total number of universes being infinite, finding a single world is truly difficult. Without pre-registered coordinates, the only chance to return to the Date A Live world where he started can be found by the probability of quantum tunneling. Therefore, the only outcome is to continue searching for home. But this is no longer a journey of wandering with no home, but a new journey. Going home may be an unattainable goal, but it doesn't mean there's no chance and it can never be achieved. It's just that the probability is very low. Therefore, staying in one place or blindly "waiting for Godot" is meaningless. It's better to treat this as a trial or the beginning of a new adventure.

Lin Haiyuan, who was lamented for being separated from his wife and daughters, still had the opportunity to see his other wives and daughters again, instead of being trapped in an eternal journey.

Therefore, there's no need to be disappointed by this ending. Instead, let's regard it as the beginning of a new life and a brand new journey for the disheartened and decadent Colonia Storm!

I would like to thank the readers who followed and watched the Colonia Storm Journey from November 22, 2017 to May 3, 2019. Thank you for your unwavering support. Even without your criticism, I know you were watching, so thank you for reading through my hasty and somewhat silly first work and supporting me to the end.

Dear readers, today marks the official end of the novel "The Chronicles of Colonia," which has been serialized for over two years and several months.

But in the end, I don't want to say that. Even though Westwood, the creator of Command & Conquer's glory, has ended, and EA is trampling on it and sucking up its remaining value like a scavenging crow, we firmly believe that the Command & Conquer series will not fade into history forever and be ended by those who come after. Instead, with the efforts of players and mod creators, it will prove to everyone that it has begun to regain its vitality and life!

En taro Westwood! Long live Command & Conquer!

Volume VI, Chronicles of Colonia, Chapter 1: Resume The Great Beyond

In a spacious, unlit command center, only a giant monitor at the highest point of the room glows faintly. Its clean, illuminated UI displays a complex flow of data, with incomprehensible images flickering within its message boxes. A few seconds later, a phrase in English appears, flashing from left to right with proper nouns, and is uttered by a melodious female voice:

"Odin System Online, Welcome Back Paradox Engine, Commander."

*Ding-wu-en!*

As the energy system came back online, the previously dimly lit integrated command center was immediately bathed in the light of electrically powered artificial lights. Two young men and women, one tall and one short, stood on a command platform with a metal floor a few centimeters high.

Before them was the battle command control panel that had been restarted and a small monitor providing all-around visual intelligence. A tall, blonde, blue-haired, mature woman dressed in a rather antique-style business suit walked up the steps and finally stopped next to the short girl. She placed a hand on the girl's soft white hair and gently stroked it, looking very affectionate.

"Alice, my other self's abilities are really impressive. It actually left such a considerable gift to us unlucky people who have transmigrated again: a Paradox Engine and Odin..."

Lin Haiyuan looked at the image of people waiting on the giant monitor in front of him and sighed.

At this moment, the steel gates of the CIC, painted with the blue-silver Allied Eagle emblem, opened upwards. A group of officers wearing peaked caps, crisp uniforms, and white gloves remained silent, making only the inevitable sound of footsteps as they took their positions and waited for the next instructions from the two leaders on the platform.

"You want us to leave that hellhole again? I really don't know how you, Lin the Madman from the parallel world, could stay in a place full of starry wonders. Aren't you afraid of dying in GRB's hands one day?"

Alice complained that she was puzzled as to why Lin Haiyuan from the other world hadn't become a burly man with long hair and a beard like Stetman, but instead remained as profit-driven and crazy as ever.

“I think someone with that kind of ability isn’t someone who can be easily killed by a single gamma-ray burst, especially since he has a Taldarim mothership that’s even bigger than my real body.”

AI Odin shook his head noncommittally, then looked around and saw that all the command and intelligence personnel recorded in the files were in place, not one more and not one less. Then he turned to look at Lin Haiyuan standing in the middle of the platform.

"According to my other self, after the countdown ends, we will be randomly transported to a modern Earth world. Since we want to survive in this familiar world, we need to gather information about this modern Earth world and start collecting radio waves emitted by non-friendly units. We need information about this modern Earth world to decide our next move. Also, we don't even have satellites, so even movement becomes a problem. Let's try to search for satellites in orbit and control them for our use. We can figure out how to solve the satellite problem later."

Lin Haiyuan is no longer using the Colonia Flanking Air Base. The Paradox Engine does not have the powerful capabilities of the Colonia Flanking Air Base to achieve the level of one ship, one nation.

"Command processing in progress, communication interception analysis in progress, satellite search intrusion operation initiation..."

As Odin spoke, he placed a hand on his right ear, and the UI framework on the giant monitor in front of them began to change drastically, with a large flow of information and operations underway.

After a while, Odin slowly lowered her hand from her right ear, and a three-dimensional frame of Earth began to appear on the giant display screen. Her voice came from all directions within her body and the CIC.

"The EVA intelligence database has been updated, the highest authorization for satellite control has been obtained, the initialization of the security system reconstruction is underway, and intelligence information about the current modern Earth world is being transmitted..."

The three-dimensional Earth unfolds directly into a blue-toned flat map, very similar to the Allied-style cutscene loading screen during campaign missions, but with some differences. The differences lie in the presence of more text labels and boundary lines to delineate the atmosphere of power, as well as different dividing line symbols between oceans to indicate what kind of sea or ocean this is.

"Commander, we have been fortunate enough to intercept a signal that is introducing the current world situation. The international situation in this modern Earth world is completely different from what we know, which is reflected in the names of various countries and the division of territories, as well as the root causes of all this. The following is a brief introduction to the current world situation in this modern Earth world."

"The arrival of another global ice age led to a large-scale reduction in food production worldwide, which became the trigger for World War III. Compared with the 20 years of global wars, it greatly changed the world order. During the war, the United States annexed Canada to the north, Mexico to the south, and the countries around the Panama Canal, forming the United States of North America (USNA)."

On the two-dimensional world map, North America was instantly dyed dark blue, and the star-studded flag representing the United States was directly reflected in the very center of the North American continent.

"The ROK has absorbed Ukraine and Belarus again to form a new Soviet union. In terms of strength and area, it is far inferior to the former USSR. Furthermore, they have occupied the land south of Heilongjiang Province and the Menggu Autonomous Region in China, cutting off China's territory, while Menggu maintains a strange state of independence."

Odin gave RU the color brown, which, compared to the original USSR map, means that CHN was incorporated into NUSSR. Looking at the hammer and sickle flag, some people present felt seriously uncomfortable, while others had complicated expressions. However, matters of territory have always been a reason for people to have mixed feelings about Big Brother. Some of them, seeing the Chinese land south of the Qinling and Kunlun Mountains on the map, couldn't help but feel nostalgic and bitter. They were all CHN people from the world of the duel. Although the Burning Wind Rebellion won the final victory and exiled all the elves and harem men to North America, and all the other mortals related to them had died, the land that could not be eroded by the spacequake and its aftershocks could not be restored.

"India and Iran jointly control most of Central Asia and South Asia, forming the Indo-Persian Federation, which has become a force that can vaguely confront the world, at least it seems so. Other Middle Eastern countries have formed the MEC Middle East coalition to counter other forces, especially the recent Indo-Persian Federation and the NUSSR overhead."

The earthen yellow representing the Indo-Polish Federation and the orange of the MEC (Middle East Coalition) respectively stained a large area of ​​Asia and most of the Middle East, and the familiar crescent and star flag appeared.

"The effort to unify the European countries into a stable alliance ultimately failed. Western Europe split into two military alliances with Germany and France as the border, but the countries within it remained independent and were closer to the CIS."

The azure and cream colors, along with the Franco-German border, stop at the Apennine Peninsula and the border between the European foot binding and NUSSR respectively, appear to be in an even more difficult situation than before.

“African countries suffered heavy losses during this ice age that spread across the world. Almost all of Africa was left without a government. Only a few coastal countries were able to maintain governance and existence, and their rule was limited to cities. Government orders could not be effectively transmitted from cities to villages and towns. The current situation in central and southern Africa is like a fire pit and a quagmire, almost degenerating into a primitive tribal state. They can no longer even maintain the large tribal state that used to be disguised as a state.”

"In this war, CHN also conquered northern Burma, northern Vietnam, northern Laos, and the Korean Peninsula again, forming the Greater Asiatic Union. However, the price they paid was the same as before: they not only failed to recover Taiwan, but the situation worsened. De facto independence had become a reality, and the remaining Southeast Asian countries had formed the Southeast Asian Alliance. The independent Taiwan had joined the Southeast Asian Alliance, whose main purpose was to counter other powers. CHN, which had evolved into the Greater Asiatic Union, was the first to bear the brunt. Japan, as the main body of the old world's Pacific Front, maintained its independence and was stronger than the previous main body of the Pacific Front. It claimed to be a peace-loving country, yet it single-handedly facilitated the de facto independence of Taiwan and the formation of the Southeast Asian Alliance. Moreover, it recklessly guaranteed the independence of Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan and Mongolia. It was clear that Japan was courting its own death, but why they didn't die involved another matter, because..."

"Stop. There's no need to say anything more. Send this as a text message to everyone's monitor. Remember, everyone. I already know what they're relying on. Now, let's talk about something else."

Lin Haiyuan waved his hand and then looked at Alice beside him. Seeing that her mouth shape changed to that of a powerful protagonist from a magic high school, he knew that she also understood what was going on.

"According to recently intercepted communications, the current Earth year is February 1, 2090. Japan's 'Kamui' Second Fleet is in the East China Sea and is heading towards Taiwan's JL Port, preparing to make a state visit to Taiwan, which has officially declared independence, to celebrate and announce its formal accession to the Southeast Asian Alliance."

Seeing the couple's remarkable chemistry, Odin knew he didn't need to waste time with background information. Meanwhile, the other combat personnel received a mandatory access to an electronic intelligence document and began building their understanding of the new world to better understand the enemy and avoid any mishaps in future battles.

"Stormbringers! It seems we've got work to do since we've just arrived in this world. Odin, please open the battle map and tell me where the Paradox Engine is?"

As Lin Haiyuan spoke, he slammed his left fist into his right palm, producing a loud clapping sound. His profound mental strength amplified the volume of both the clapping sound and his words.

"Yes, according to the USNA satellite positioning system, which has a high degree of integrity, the Paradox Engine is currently located in the East China Sea within the Greater Asia Union's territory. The Japanese [Kamui] Second Fleet and the Taiwan Maritime Self-Defense Force, which is coming to rendezvous, are brazenly announcing their routes on public channels and even in the media. Currently, the Greater Asia Union has not made any actual naval mobilizations except for expressing strong protests. It is said that their fleet was almost completely destroyed in a previous maritime conflict with Japan, so they are powerless to deal with the arrogant Japanese Kamui Second Fleet in the short term. The rendezvous point of the two fleets is located in the Diaoyu Islands, and the Paradox Engine is currently 220 nautical miles away from the Diaoyu Islands."

As Odin spoke, he zoomed out the two-dimensional world map to the sea area between northern Taiwan and Pengjia Island and the Diaoyu Islands. The red solid circle flag and fleet insignia symbolizing Japan drew a bluish-white trail from the direction of Okinawa, heading towards the concentric circle islands at a relatively high speed. The Taiwan Navy fleet, using a white flag shaped like the island of Taiwan, drew a gray route from JL Port towards the Diaoyu Islands, the rendezvous point. Meanwhile, the Paradox Engine's combat map marker appeared exactly southeast of the Diaoyu Islands.

"The Taiwanese naval fleet will rendezvous with Japan's Kamui Second Fleet at the Diaoyu Islands before heading to JL Port together. Then, the Japanese Prime Minister, aboard the flagship Amagi-class aircraft carrier, will deliver a joint speech with the Taiwanese Prime Minister at JL Port, announcing Taiwan's accession to the Southeast Asian Alliance and requesting Japan to grant them a guarantee of independence."

At this point, Odin added a multicolored shield symbol with ship symbols to the Diaoyu Islands, the meeting point.

"It's 200 nautical miles from the Diaoyu Islands, which is far beyond the time-stop effect range of the Sigma tuner, but it's still within the combat radius of our carrier-based aircraft. We can only rely on our carrier-based aircraft. We don't have any ships available for naval combat right now. Deploying hovercraft for combat should be considered, but it's only a possibility."

Lin Haiyuan slammed his left fist onto his right palm and gave instructions to Ou Ting on the other side.

"Prepare an operation plan called 'The Messenger Who Vanishes Forever.' The main objective of the operation is to ensure that the Japanese Kamui Second Fleet never reaches the rendezvous point. At that time, the whole world will witness the clownish behavior of this peace-loving superpower. Odin, you need to seize the time to conduct reconnaissance of this Kamui Fleet from all aspects and collect all their data for the evaluation of the next operation plan. Get our combat and command personnel in action, and also get all our pilots ready. This time, our air force needs to go all out and send them all to sea to feed the fish."

Lin Haiyuan recalled something and continued, "By the way, we won't take prisoners, but we'll tell those fighter pilots not to waste ammunition strafing those who parachute or are in the sea. The Warhawk helicopters will take them on their way. We won't take even a prime minister-level prisoner, but we'll use cameras to capture the scene of burning him into a little fire man."

"Commander, strategic analysis shows that Japan's magical strength is far greater than we imagined. This behavior will inevitably greatly anger them and may attract strategic-level mages."

Oudin cautiously tried to persuade him.

"It's too late when they try to solve the problem with strategic magic. We just need to keep the paradox engine away from Japan. The Japanese archipelago is not among our next strategic goals. As usual, once we've thoroughly dealt with Southeast Asia and brought it under our control, some very interesting things will happen to this trade-dependent island nation."

Lin Haiyuan was well aware of the incredibly foolish strategic magician settings, so after he finished this job, he only needed to stay away from the Japanese list. As long as he couldn't do anything about the Paradox Engine, they could only rely on ordinary magicians. Fortunately, he was currently using the Allied Forces' armory, so there were plenty of ways to deal with these mysterious magicians.

Chapter Two: The Eagle Soaring Freely (Part One)

Because both Taiwan and Japan openly publish their shipping routes on public channels and in the media, Odin on the Paradox Engine can use the USNA satellite network to locate and measure the speeds of the two fleets. After complex calculations, it is quickly confirmed that Japan's Second Fleet [Shinwei] will arrive at the Diaoyu Islands in 30 minutes. As for Taiwan's naval fleet, or rather, calling it a naval fleet is a stretch. At most, it consists of a few old Perry-class frigates. It doesn't even have Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. It's a very small fleet. Of course, it's already good that they have Perry-class frigates. After all, they believe that someone will protect them and that they don't need to lead offensive operations. At most, they are pursuing Aegis ships or even better Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.

Therefore, the Taiwanese naval fleet, which was considered a small fry, was not regarded as an opponent by everyone on the Paradox Engine. Soon, everyone checked the number and configuration of the JP Second Fleet [Kamui] Fleet, which was the primary target.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this is more accurately described as an aircraft carrier battle group than a fleet. In addition to the Amagi-class aircraft carrier mentioned earlier, which serves as the fleet flagship, there are also six Haruzuki-class guided-missile destroyers and two Kongo-class guided-missile cruisers equipped with the Aegis system. Underwater, there are also Soryu-class submarines that can be ignored. These attack submarines pose no threat to air force units. For them, who do not intend to take any prisoners, the only threat they can pose is probably the pilots who eject and fall into the sea. However, using anti-ship torpedoes to bombard such small targets as pilots at sea is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. There is also the possibility of kappa hover tanks and robot tanks deployed through hyperspace teleportation.

Furthermore, although Odin is inferior to Walkernet AI in terms of performance, she still has the ability to access network devices through wireless communication. Therefore, she can also collect intelligence on these ships from the network. It just so happens that they are spreading rumors in the news media that they are sincerely disgusting the Da Ya Union across the sea, which makes it easier for her to collect the data of those warships that are on the surface.

After assessment by all command and intelligence personnel and EVA, disregarding certain factors, these Haruzuki-class guided-missile destroyers are simply renamed Akizuki-class guided-missile destroyers, while the Kongo-class cruiser is a complete replica of the USNA's Ticonderoga-class cruiser. However, if we take those factors into account, the situation becomes quite different: this world possesses a more modern form of "magic."

Leaving aside the inexplicably overused philosophical terms like "Eidos individual intelligence entities" and "Idea intelligence entity dimensions," everyone knows one thing: these JP naval ships have special ship components.

Firstly, it is responsible for gathering "Thoughts," a kind of supernatural, non-material particle from an idealistic perspective. This ridiculous introduction makes even those with some knowledge of modern physics roll their eyes, but its effect is indeed undeniable. These Thoughts are used by other magical calculation devices manufactured using magical engineering. It is currently confirmed that the electronic systems associated with their Center combat computer rely on these Thoughts to enhance operational efficiency and reduce manual operations, thereby providing automation for the warship. However, in a practical sense, besides adding more magician positions, it has not truly reduced the number of personnel. Their ship components also have a magician-assisted calculation device called "Mind's Eye," which is protected by armor and can disperse Thoughts on a large scale to form a stable field.

This area is not inherently lethal, but any object entering it will be immediately detected. Precise data on the target's movement will be transmitted to the fire control system, providing highly accurate fire control data for shipborne weapons. It can also continuously guide anti-aircraft missiles to pursue targets within the area. Targets that are too large or too small can be filtered out; the mage in charge can adjust the settings as needed. The only known drawback of this area is that the faster the target moves, the lower the accuracy of the fire control data acquisition. This seems like a problem that could be solved by a salvo of anti-ship missiles like those targeting granite or volcanic rock, but the problem is that their military system is that of an Allied coalition, not the Cold War-era Russians…

Neither the US, EA, nor PF have ever developed dedicated anti-ship armaments. Compared to modern warships, their naval warships are practically worthless. The only notable ones are the Aegis cruisers and the Dolphins equipped with the Comet Prism Rifle 01. The former is a powerful Aegis-equipped ship with strong anti-aircraft missiles, while the latter is the best scout on the vast ocean.

The Allied forces' arsenal contained only three main fighter jets. First, the US Stormtrooper, more like the Swedish JAS-39 Griffin than the F-16—a fast, light fighter with passable performance, but ultimately just a light aircraft, barely usable. Second, the EA Harrier, utterly garbage, as vertical takeoff and landing technology wasn't exclusive to the Harrier, and its flight performance wasn't particularly outstanding. Its usefulness in the game stemmed solely from the debuffing effect of its high-explosive anti-tank missiles. In comparison, the Pacific Front's Black Hawk helicopter, based on the Su-47, was more complex. In an environment where stealth was paramount, it also suffered from structural divergence issues with its forward-swept wings. Simply put, the forward-swept wingtips... Located ahead of the wing root, under aerodynamic loads, the wingtip experiences torsional deformation relative to the wing root, increasing the local angle of attack at the wingtip. This increased angle of attack further increases the aerodynamic load. This vicious cycle leads to wing structural failure. This effect is called aeroelastic divergence. Although there are methods to increase structural strength, fighter jets are extremely sensitive to weight. Increasing wing structural strength would significantly increase dead weight, not to mention the furious ground crew. Therefore, it ultimately only existed as a demonstrator aircraft. However, the Pacific Front found a solution and successfully manufactured a usable and relatively easy-to-maintain forward-swept wing fighter—the Black Hawk—making it the best fighter in the Allied air force's combat order of battle, at least the only heavy fighter in the Allied air force's combat order of battle…

While they had been using the equipment of the Foehn Resistance Army, they clearly hadn't forgotten their original aviation tactics. The best option now was to send the Black Hawk heavy fighters and the Storm Son light fighters together. At least their flight envelope performance at both ends was acceptable, unlike the Plastic Bug and F-35, whose flight envelope performance at the right end was questionable. Especially with the threat of the Mind's Eye Domain, which is tied to this system, the Mind's Eye Domain posed a significant threat to subsonic aircraft.

"We need a fleet of Black Hawk and Stormson fighters with external fuel tanks and full air-to-air capabilities to deal with enemy air units." This point was quickly agreed upon. Full air-to-air capability was something that Black Hawk and Stormson fighters could do, but how to deal with the enemy's warships below them was controversial. This stemmed from another personal suggestion that Lin Haiyuan had given him.

The Allied Armory naturally contains infiltration units obtained by the Allies from infiltrating other factions' T3 buildings and construction sites. Among them, the Allies obtained the Lionheart bomber by infiltrating the Soviet Union. The data recorded in the EVA database is different from the data in the game. In the game, the Lionheart bomber is just a slow tactical bomber with only one EMP fuel-air bomb with limited power, which is only suitable for control.

However, in the EVA database, this Lionheart bomber is a completely different story. It possesses supersonic cruise capability, with a supercruise speed of Mach 1.8. With the afterburner fully open, it can soar to Mach 3.3, avoiding the extreme risk of engine burnout like the MiG-25. However, this significantly reduces its onboard fuel consumption, resulting in a shortened combat radius. The original 2000-kilometer combat radius while maintaining supersonic cruise and a fully loaded bomb bay would drastically shrink to only 1000-800 kilometers. This is no longer the Lionheart bomber, but rather the US Dawn bomber from Generals/Final Hour! If the bomb bay is equipped with EMP fuel-air explosives, it would resemble the Alpha Dawn bomber from the superweapon General.

Although its flight performance is excellent, it can carry fewer weapons compared to the Barracuda bomber. The Barracuda bomber has better radar stealth capabilities and can carry more powerful Venus missiles. These Venus missiles, which are specifically designed to destroy buildings, are also very effective when they hit warships. However, the speed of the Venus missiles is not ideal, and the Barracuda bomber is only a subsonic bomber. Against the Mind's Eye Domain, which is not affected by radar stealth, its survivability is a problem.

Therefore, the question of whether to prioritize speed or payload sparked a debate. However, Lin Haiyuan personally ended the argument by subtly reminding everyone that the entire operation was a speed-first raid. They were only 30 minutes away from reaching the Diaoyu Islands, meaning they actually only had 15 to 20 minutes to intercept the Japanese Second Fleet. Moreover, the enemy had a genuine aircraft carrier and a US-style fleet air defense plan, which the Barracuda bombers couldn't keep up with due to their speed.

Therefore, the equipment for the "Eternally Vanished Messenger" operation was finally determined: Black Hawk and Stormson fighters would team up to lure and destroy enemy air force units, while Lionheart bomber squadrons, carrying electromagnetic pulse fuel-air bombs and three Venus missiles, would carry out SEAD operations, paralyzing all their air defenses or... simply sinking them.

Routine performance changes are needed; otherwise, the Lionheart bomber would be swept into the trash heap like the Harrier fighter. It's an infiltration unit, after all, and shouldn't be treated so poorly. It's also expected that a new flying unit with a model and ART data created but not yet used in the game will be added...

Chapter Two: The Eagle Soaring Freely (Part Two)

Once the operational plan was finalized and distributed to personnel at all levels, EVA quickly entered the battlefield data maps obtained through extensive and detailed satellite scanning into the database for use in subsequent operations. Meanwhile, the pilots of the three temporarily reorganized flight squadrons on the Paradox Engine entered the mission briefing room to listen to EVA's explanation of the mission.

On the giant display screen, a high-precision military-grade black-and-white electronic sand table is shown. The dividing line between land and sea is a bright blue line, and the corresponding locations are marked with low-brightness white names. On the left side of the display screen, the Allied Forces' Freedom Eagle emblem stands upright, and below it are information such as troop parameters and missions.

"According to the orders of Supreme Commander Lin Haiyuan, we will next launch an air strike against the JP Kamui Second Fleet, so that they will never be able to reach the Diaoyu Islands where they can rendezvous with the Taiwanese Navy."

In the electronic sandbox display, the message below the Allied Forces icon has been shrunk, and the icon itself has been rearranged on three newly appeared badge icons. One is an eagle with two lightning bolts in its feet, labeled Thunder Hawk; another is an eagle pouncing with its talons, labeled Storm Talons; the third is a ray of light turning, labeled Alpha Aurora; and the last is a trident with a sharp point flashing cold light, labeled Trident.

These are the four flight squadrons they are currently able to organize for combat.

"In view of the needs of the operation, we have formed four flight squadrons: Thunderhawk, Storm Claw, Alpha Dawn, and Trident. Among them, Thunderhawk and Storm Claw are air superiority squadrons, while Alpha Dawn and Trident are anti-ship squadrons. You all already know which squadron you have been assigned to before entering the mission briefing room, so I will not go into details. The aircraft types you can use in the upcoming battle are as shown above."

The ZOCOM insignia of Thunderhawk Squadron features a diagonal line connecting a wireframe model of a Black Hawk helicopter from the Pacific Front; the insignia of Stormclaw Squadron features a diagonal line connecting a wireframe model of a Stormson helicopter; and the insignia of Alpha Dawn Squadron and Trident Squadron feature a diagonal line connecting a Lionheart bomber.

"Before this ship was transported to another world, you had already piloted all the fighter jets here, and you had also undergone virtual reality patrols. Therefore, I believe that no one is unfamiliar with the performance of their own vehicle, and no one would choose to back down at this time."

The satellites orbiting over the area on the display were marked and their scanning range was indicated by a beam of virtual light. After the beam scan was completed, models of two opposing fleets appeared on either side of the Diaoyu Islands, accompanied by red halos of the JP Second Kamui Fleet and the Taiwan Navy Fleet, although the two red halos were different.

The red aura of the JP Second Shinwei Fleet has a larger range, calculated by EVA to be 200 nautical miles. It is surrounded by aircraft icons, indicating that this red aura is supported by fighter jets. In comparison, the Taiwanese naval fleet is much smaller, not only in terms of range but also in terms of support provided only by naval guns and missiles. As for its actual combat effectiveness against air attacks... don't have too high hopes.

"The Taiwanese naval fleet is too weak and lacks firepower, so it is insignificant in this operation and can be dealt with at will, and it is powerless to threaten us."
